I thrived in the primitive tribe

Lu Yao and Lu Yao walked side by side, slowly stepping into the picturesque sunset, and arrived at the square.

They stood at the edge of the square, quietly watching their busy tribespeople. The golden sunset, like a magical painter, cast a soft and enchanting golden light on everyone.

On everyone's face, a hopeful smile was clearly reflected. Those smiles were so radiant, as if they could dispel all gloom and bring endless warmth and strength. Those hopeful smiles contained a beautiful vision for the future.

As mouthwatering dishes were created from skillful hands, the aroma of food wafted through the air, and this beautiful scene seemed to magically soothe Lu Yao's fear and unease.

The Great Shaman noticed the change in Lu Yao's expression, took her hand, and the two slowly walked into the lively atmosphere, gradually blending in, as if she were born to belong here.

When the tribespeople saw the two arrive, they warmly invited them to sit down and eat. A steaming hot flatbread was stuffed into Lu Yao's hand. After carefully biting into the flatbread, a burst of hot air rushed out. She looked closely and found that it was filled with meat.

The meat filling, with its perfect balance of lean and fat, is incredibly fragrant. Every bit of meat is soaked in the delicious broth. With each bite, the crust of the meat pie is crispy and fragrant, while the filling is juicy and flavorful. The combination of the two is simply divine, a delightful tantalizing experience for the taste buds with every bite.

"The person who made this meat pie is incredibly skilled; it's the best meat pie I've ever had." Hearing Lu Yao's exclamation, everyone nodded in agreement, too busy to speak, as if afraid that their pie would be snatched away if they were too late.

Paired perfectly with the refreshing and palate-cleansing mushroom soup, the flavors complement each other beautifully. The savory aroma of mushrooms intertwines with the subtle fragrance of herbs, and a light sip not only balances the richness of the meatloaf but also awakens a completely new taste sensation.

In that instant, Lu Yao felt that the food was not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a comfort to the soul. It was as if she had escaped all her troubles and worries, leaving only happiness and satisfaction. At this moment, her life was complete.

After finishing their meal to their hearts' content, the leader came to Lu Yao to discuss the storage of the remaining food.

"Lu Yao, we caught a bit too much meat today, so we're going to start making dried and smoked meat. Should we start now or tomorrow?"

"Now, it's so hot, it'll spoil if left out too long. I just finished eating, so I'll get up and move around to help digest."

Lu Yao stood up and followed the leader to the place where the prey was placed. Looking at the beast left in front of her, she realized it was a bull. Thinking of the deliciousness of beef jerky, Lu Yao licked her lips and decided to air-dry it.

They found a tribesman to cut the meat into thin slices or strips, placed them in clean earthenware jars, covered them with leaves, and put them in a cool, well-ventilated place to marinate naturally overnight. Since there weren't enough earthenware jars, everyone worked together to bring a water-filled stone vat, poured out all the water, let it air dry, and then moved it to the chosen location, which was just enough to hold the remaining meat.

After doing all this, we'll hang the beef in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry place to air dry tomorrow.

Since everyone is quite busy during the day, the racks for the dried beef were also set up at the same time.

After discussing with the high shaman, the chief felt that Arthur, who was meticulous and responsible, was more suitable for this task. So, he decided to entrust the hanging work to Arthur, and Lu Yao only needed to come and check whether the beef had been marinated.

After everyone finished their tasks, they dispersed, returned to their caves, lay down on animal skins, savored the delicious food they had eaten that day, and drifted into a sweet sleep.
